::Fortunately, we seem to have avoided "the land after bee's time".  At least for now. [[Special:Contributions/172.68.90.76|172.68.90.76]] 23:03, 21 November 2019 (UTC)SiliconWolf
 
  
 
The Big Bang of course has two bees in it.

:…But those bees did not develop until long after homo sapien did, the written word, the latin alphabet, et al. Indeed, “The Big Bang”, is a rather more recent construct, although the event is pre-Plank time. [[User:Logics|Logics]] ([[User talk:Logics|talk]]) 17:22, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

::: Isn't that the point of this wiki? a joke explained is a bad joke. --[[User:Lupo|Lupo]] ([[User talk:Lupo|talk]]) 08:41, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
 
:::: Huh.  I guess I didn't consider that we should explain our own jokes as well as Randall's. [[Special:Contributions/172.68.90.100|172.68.90.100]] 18:49, 22 November 2019 (UTC) SiliconWolf
 
  
 
I accidentally deleted the "incomplete explanation" tag after completing the transcript. Sorry about that, I'm new to wiki editing :( [[User:Duraludon|Duraludon]] ([[User talk:Duraludon|talk]]) 16:05, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

He left out the fecund topic  of  "Time of  FurBees"  [[User:Cellocgw|Cellocgw]] ([[User talk:Cellocgw|talk]]) 13:45, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
 
 
Any link to the horrible pun in https://xkcd.com/282/ ? It's at least another thyme pun
 
 
It appears that not only is the timeline not to scale, so is the bottom horizontal line. Randall shows "The Land Before Time" movie concurrent with "The Land Before Thyme" era. Ancient Egyptians and greeks were already cultivating [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyme Thyme] well before the movie was released in 1988.

: Good question, what does the hash mark labelled "The Land Before Time" refer to? It cannot refer to the existence of the movie, ''The Land Before Time''. It most likely refers to the time period portrayed in the movie, i.e. the time of the dinosaurs. According to the timeline, dinosaurs developed after land nesting bees and before the thyme plant developed.
 
::It's the time that the movie supposedly takes place in, back in the Cretaceous. [[User:Nitpicking|Nitpicking]] ([[User talk:Nitpicking|talk]]) 01:37, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
